The factors bolstering humans to colonize are balanced by ethical and economic tethers that keep us here on Earth. Before we…
cherished. The technology that brought the human race to Mars has been shown to be a force to be reckoned with. They have been shown to be able to destroy acres of land and even change the weather, but the rockets were only the transport for the even greater force of destruction and imperialism.

It carries the Ares 3 crew from Earth to Mars’ orbit. “Hermes is powered by ion engines. They throw Argon out the back of the ship really fast to get a tiny amount of acceleration. The thing is, it doesn't take much reactant mass, so a little Argon (and a nuclear reactor to power things) let us…
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are known as the terrestrial planets. In comparison to the outer planets, they are small in size, made of denser materials, and lack a huge numbers of moons. Even though they share these common traits, they are still very different from each other. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, yet its surface is either extremely hot or extremely cold due to the slow rotation of the planet on it's axis and the lack of atmosphere. It is also unique in that it's core is…
Researchers have been discovering new moons as well as making new technology, but the sense of adventure and inspiration we had then is gone (Kavanagh).

diameter telescope we were lucky enough to have a mostly clear sky to view in this order: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon. Viewing these celestial bodies in person is truly one of the most exciting and core tenets of astronomy. With our telescope we were able to see firsthand and notice some of the distinct characteristics of the different objects. First we looked at our nearby neighbor planet, Mars. Mars is named after the Roman god of war and has a nickname of the “Red Planet” due to…
